Yes, there is an official Scooby Doo Transformer. The Mystery Machine transforms into a robot that can rotate through heads based on the four kids, and a box of Scooby Snacks turns into "Automutt". www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/...

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace

Always fun when something stops working correctly, and the expert who comes to fix it can't figure out how it ever was working correctly in the first place, it was never supposed to work that way in the first place, so the best they can do is a kludge to get it working most of the way correctly.

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.
A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Sorry, if your Kickstarter promo email has an example of game materials with multiple typos like "interacvt" and "alaphal male," I am unlikely to invest even if the topic looks interesting. (Mind you, even correctly spelled, a non-ironic use of "alpha male" makes me look askance at your product.)

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

Some days it feels like we live in a timeline where time travelers have enacted increasingly desperate changes in order to avert nuclear war. Every time something mindbogglingly dumb happens in world events, it's because the smart alternative led inexorably to nukes.

Story premise: Discovery of superstrong composite material made from renewable resources (mostly wood fiber) led to a revolution in construction and the removal of steel from most cities except for small amounts in specialist uses and historical sites. Then the fey were free to return.

Finished making the Super Sentai BinRangers and picked out a mech for them. (Might make a Sixth Ranger or a mascot later, but I want to move onto other projects for a while.)
Super Sentai BinRanger!  Four of the miniatures are Count Binface minis painted in Power Rangers-inspired colors for BinBlack (leader), BinRed, BinBlue, and BinYellow.  BinPink is a heavily customized HeroClix AIM Agent.  They are in front of a DF-79 Dumpster Fire Mecha from 100% Soft (I did not mod it, I just left the flame piece off).

In recent cases, it's not that AI somehow "escaped containment" or "went rogue." That's anthropomorphizing at best. It's more like if a Boston Dynamics robot dog nudged open an already open door and walked in.

Is there an accepted term for a "secondary world" that is really just Earth with the names changed a little and some of the locations and dates shuffled? (Sometimes VERY little, like Berlint for Berlin, or Vienne for Vienna.) There doesn't seem to be an ordinal form of "1.5" that I can find.
